Hello, buddy. You heard about the Scavs squaring off right now, right? It's a big mess out there. And it's all fine and dandy, but my boys are getting caught up in this as well. Though my guys are not complete nitwits, some help would still be appreciated. So here's the plan: this gang has their own outfits, their key-fighters wear ushankas, fisherman vests, and often use shotguns. What a bunch of clowns, aren't they? So what you should do is dress up like one of them (Scav Vest, Ushanka ear flap hat, and MP-series shotguns) and smoke some PMCs. I don't care about factions, the important thing is to just get PMCs into this to fight those morons. You get what's gonna happen, yeah?

In this quest you have to kill 8 PMC's with MP-series shotguns while wearing a Scav Vest and a Ushanka ear flap hat. You can use any of the following:
It is recommended to ambush or fight players in close quarters, as from a distance the damage drop off, inaccuracy of most shotguns, and high recoil from repetitive shots can be a significant factor to whether you score a kill or not.
Early game, most players will be wearing armoured vests and helmets that can confidently block most shotgun rounds and since gaining high tier shotgun ammo can be quite difficult you will most likely have to use low tier ammo at your expense.
When choosing your shotgun of your choice consider it's accuracy and ammo capacity.
The MP-18 may have superior accuracy but suffers from long reload times and having only one shot capacity which can implicit strict trigger discipline. Despite this, the MP-18 can load 7.62x54R rounds which can defeat most entry level armours and can be complimented with a cheap scope and mount.
On the other hand the MP-153 is somewhat limited to what scope you attach to the top, but that is only given you have access to the necessary mount and rail at your disposal. The MP-153 at stock value, has great MOA and is considered one of the most accurate 12 gauge shotguns out of all the MP series. It has access to multiple barrel lengths unlike the MP-155 and has semi-auto firing unlike the MP-133. Using this shotgun is great choice as the long barrel allows for accurate hits on target as well as reduces recoil naturally without any aftermarket attachments.
Using shells or slugs is up to personal preference, but when using shells be wary of the shotgun's MOA. Some shotguns are more accurate and some are less accurate, which can result in underwhelming damage when firing from longer ranges.
When fighting the lack of rig space and head protection becomes apparent as you are restricted to a Ushanka and Scav Vest. Be sure to have space in your rig for medicine and ammo, or occasionally grenades if necessary. Scavs with shotguns, pistols and submachine guns can pose a greater threat to getting headshot, as you are not protected from the weakest calibres that Scavs usually fire. This can get dangerous as most of Customs consists of tight buildings and short ranges when traversing allowing Scavs to be more accurate when fighting.
You can use the MP-18 for long ranges, MP-153 for mid to short and the MP-43 sawed-off for a sidearm, all together to allow for an adaptive playstyle. The MP-18 can compensate for longer ranges, MP-153 for more follow up damage and MP-43 sawed-off for a powerful surprise when reloading is slower than switching to your side arm.
You can choose any MP series shotgun you want but each has their certain drawbacks, be sure to compensate for it when going into battle. However one thing they all have in common is their slow reload speeds. Panic firing at close ranges can leave you vulnerable and susceptible to aggressive pushes or when trading fire with the enemy. So it is essential to use discipline and scrutinizing accuracy when firing, instead of burst firing and hoping for the best.
